No offence Johnny but whenever I hop in a taxi that’s what the driver foists on me.
There was one driver, about a decade ago, who insisted on stopping the car and getting myself and my work colleague to look up at the supposedly visible Mir space station.
Then, there was the driver that kept me in the car for twenty minutes after arriving at my destination haranguing me about the Nice Treaty. And I was in agreement with him!
Oh I wouldn’t doubt that for a minute, TUG. My own policy when driving is to speak only when spoken to, so I don’t initiate conversation. However, the above two points are what people invariably rabbit on about in my car, unprompted by myself.
Well BoI changed these rates today. Here are the new ones.
Homeloan Fixed and Variable Rates for new customers
Product APR Annuity
Homeloan Variable 5.4%
Tracker Less Than E250k & LTV <92>92% 1-Yr Disc. ECB +0.65% Rolls to ECB + 1.15% 5.2%

Tracker LTV < 50% ECB + 0.75% for the Term 4.8%
1 Year Fixed rolling to ECB + 1.25% 5.3%
2 Year Fixed rolling to ECB + 1.25% 5.3%

4 Year Fixed rolling to ECB + 1.25% 5.4%
5 Year Fixed rolling to ECB + 1.25% 5.5%
10 Year Fixed rolling to ECB + 1.25% 5.9%
None have dropped while the 2 year fixed option and the spread over base after the fix runs out have all risen.
Of interest too is the under €250k tracker which has risen from 5.2% to 5.3%
We should appoint Comical to 'our seat ’ on the Board of the ECB instead of some inarticulate and visionless gobsheen from the central bank…seriously … we should .
You’re correct, but there’s (or should be) a limit to spin. Not to put the latest comments would make us just “spinners” in the other direction.
However, if Austin and Dan are wrong again, that’ll make it even more flagrant.
If they’re “rightish”, then we can just turn around the phrase used against the pinsters, that “a stopped clock is right twice a day”, that if they keep saying rates will go down, eventually they’ll be right!
